Google Calendar Sound Notifications

Google Calendar has a Labs feature called "Gentle reminders" that replaces pop-up reminders with better notifications. "When you get a reminder, the title of the Google Calendar window or tab will happily blink in the background." If you use Google Chrome, you can also enable desktop notifications in the settings.

Google has recently added sound notifications. You can enable this feature by going to Settings > Gentle reminders (labs) and selecting Play a sound notification together with reminders (requires Flash).

I don't think that would be of much use. (for the same reasons I don't use the Popup-messages) Google Calendar is a web application. ...and this is my site where i have few more articles that might help in this subject." ..http://diybiodieselkits.weebly.com/

I don't see this at all. My option is to enable or disable. "This feature replaces Calendar's pop-ups: when you get a reminder, the title of the Google Calendar window or tab will happily blink in the background and you will hear a pleasant sound." No option to turn off sound, you see.
